Did you have the freedom to choose your career?

I have all the say in my career. My parents
supported me all the way. I'm very thankful
that God had given me a very understanding
parents.

I have always believed that everyone has the freedom to choose their career. The career that one should choose should be something that we really would like to be doing. But of course there are some things that we should consider in choosing a career. Like financing which is very important. You can't practice medicine if you don't have plenty of money.
Sometimes, parents would like us to study for something that we don't like. If that is a situation that one is in, then they should explain to the parents why you don't like it and why you chose a different field. Ultimately

hi ramyashreesk,
yes my parents also let me free to choose what career i want to choose. but i am not so satisfied with my choice. before i chose agricultural technology, but now i think i should choose language.

Well...It was after the engineering course and I had the complete support of every one concerned,so there was really no problems.I was good at maths and Scince subjects were of interest to me...hence successfully completed enginnering as well and am currently doing good...
When you enjoy something,obviosly one will be successful in that field.Isnt it Ramya.

I did have the freedom to choose. I like you started in one area of study and then changed. But my change was due more for the fact that what I really wanted to do didn't quite match what I wanted to get paid. So I changed my direction of studies to business administration which was pretty generic. My original choice was social work and that just didn't pay any money. So I found something in business that allowed me to still help those that I wanted to help and still get paid a nice salary. Throughout the years I have kind of tailor made my career to get both aspects. Now I own my company and I provide the services that I always wanted to and I get to make the difference in peoples lives that I wanted to and would do my job for free if I had to.

I am currently pursuing my course, and that is Communication Arts. It was my own decision and I am happy that my father and aunts support me all the way.:)

I had the freedom to choose my own career, but I was not really sure what I wanted to do and so my parents just helped me a little bit. I was a straight A student at school, but in the last two years of school I just let it all go and could not be bothered, and that was it I came out of school with nothing.

Yes. I am lucky. My parents never pushed me to do anything. But at the same time never seemed to really care what I wanted to o for a living.
Once I was 18 my choices were my own so they never said a word.

Hi ramya! I had no problem and my parents never stood in my way.

I am a medical student in Bangladesh. So, yet not got the chance to prove myself in the career job. But I love to blog, making small software etc. I also write articles in the newspaper. So, definately I have the freedom to choose my career.
